BTTH: Breaking The Simulation

While Han Yue was still puzzled, she heard Xiao Feng laughingly explain, "Han, don't misunderstand us. We're not some young masters and ladies of a prestigious family. We're just from small families."

[Like I'd believe that! What kind of small family could nurture someone so young to become a Dou Emperors? You might as well say you're from a hidden family in the Central Plains!]

"Boom!"

A low, deep bell suddenly rang, interrupting Han Yue's inner complaints.

"Open the tower!"

With an elderly voice, the tightly shut dark doors slowly opened, raising the temperature around the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower considerably.

"Enter the tower!"

The elder's voice echoed again, and the gathered students around the tower turned into shadows, dashing into the dark entrance passage.

"Xiao Feng, Little Doctor Immortal, let's go in too!"

Zi Yan, seeing this, leisurely waved her hand and led Xiao Feng and the others inside the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

As soon as Xiao Feng and Little Doctor Immortal stepped into the tower, their expressions changed slightly, realizing an uninvited guest had appeared inside their bodies.

It was a strange, invisible flame that had materialized inside both of them.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng immediately circulated his Dou Qi, wrapping it around the invisible flame.

As the pure wind-attributed Dou Qi passed through the flame, the flame shrank slightly, becoming more refined, until it was eventually completely consumed.

After dealing with the invisible flame, Xiao Feng silently marveled, "As expected of the legendary cultivation cheat, truly extraordinary."

The Fallen Heart Flame was ranked fourteenth on the list of strange flames. Those who consumed and refined it would have their Dou Qi continuously tempered by the heart flame, hence why it was called a cultivation cheat.

Although this flame couldn't directly enhance Xiao Feng's power, it compressed and purified his Dou Qi, indirectly increasing his overall Dou Qi capacity.

Unfortunately, Xiao Feng had already refined the Wind and Thunder Fury Flameand hadn't cultivated the Flame Mantra, so he couldn't accommodate a second Heavenly Flame within him. Otherwise, he would have really considered refining the Fallen Heart Flame.

Seeing Xiao Feng and the others snap out of it, Zi Yan grinned and asked, "How is it? Pretty amazing, right?"

"It is indeed amazing," Little Doctor Immortal nodded slightly. "No wonder Jia Nan Academy earned the title of the top academy on the Dou Qi Continent."

Little Doctor Immortal, a five-star Dou Emperors, was surprised that even the heart fire from the Fallen Heart Flame could further refine and purify the poisonous Dou Qi within her.

It's easy to imagine how much help this invisible heart fire would be for the students.

No wonder many families from the Central Plains would go to great lengths to send their disciples to Jia Nan Academy for further training.

"This is just the beginning. We're currently on the top floor of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, where the heart fire is at its weakest, mainly for the newly joined inner academy students to cultivate."

Zi Yan waved her hand with a smile. "Come, I'll take you to the bottom of the tower. The heart fire there is more suitable for your cultivation."

After watching Xiao Feng and the others leave, Han Yue finally called her companions and entered a training room to begin secluded cultivation.

Led by Zi Yan, Xiao Feng and the others quickly reached the bottom floor of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

It was an extremely spacious area, much larger than the training spaces on the upper floors. Additionally, there were far fewer training rooms, giving the place a desolate feeling.

Xiao Feng scanned the surroundings and his gaze landed on a massive hole in the center of the training area, with a diameter of dozens of meters.

As Xiao Feng examined the hole, the Wind and Thunder Fury Flamewithin him seemed to sense something and began to stir restlessly.

Standing beside Xiao Feng, Little Doctor Immortal also felt the Ghostly Poison Flame inside her becoming unusually active.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a furious roar echoed from the black hole, and an invisible fire python shot out of it.

Sensing the provocative aura from the strange flames inside Xiao Feng and Little Doctor Immortal, the invisible fire python formed from the Fallen Heart Flame began frantically attacking the seal.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the python charged around, space began to shimmer, revealing visible spatial barriers and countless sealing chains formed by mysterious runes.

The inner academy elders, who had been cultivating in the training rooms, rushed out immediately.

Seeing the raging invisible fire python, all the elders wore expressions of grave concern.

After years of growth, the Fallen Heart Flame's fire python form had become as powerful as a Dou Ancestor expert.

If the Fallen Heart Flame were to break free, it could potentially destroy the entire inner academy.

As soon as Su Qian noticed the Fallen Heart Flame's rampage, he hurried over.

Using the sealing barrier left by the headmaster, Su Qian forced the Fallen Heart Flame back into submission, then turned to the gathered crowd and asked, "What happened just now? Why did the Fallen Heart Flame suddenly act up?"

"..."

While the inner academy elders exchanged confused looks, still unsure of the situation, Xiao Feng awkwardly spoke up, "Well... Elder Su, I think the Fallen Heart Flame reacted to the Heavenly Flames within us, which caused it to act up."

"You possess a Heavenly Flame?"

Su Qian's expression shifted, and after a brief pause, he asked with uncertainty, "Wait a minute, what do you mean by 'us'?"

"Xian'er," Xiao Feng gestured to Little Doctor Immortal, who joined him in extending her right hand, summoning their respective Heavenly Flames.

In Xiao Feng's palm, a pale yellow flame appeared, with small fire dragons faintly visible within the flickering flames.

Meanwhile, on Little Doctor Immortal's jade-like hand, a green flame emerged, vaguely taking the shape of a butterfly.

"A yellowish hue, with both wind and fire attributes... Could this be the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame Flame, ranked eighteenth on the list of Heavenly Flames?"

"Green, butterfly-shaped, and highly poisonous... Could this be the legendary Ghostly Poison Flame?"

"I never thought I'd live to see the day when I could witness three different Heavenly Flames at once. Unbelievable..."

Among the inner academy elders, several were from the alchemy department and quickly recognized the origins of the Wind and Thunder Fury Flameand the Ghostly Poison Flame.

[Wow! Could you two be any more overpowered?!]

Su Qian's mouth twitched at the sight, unsure of how to respond.

Xiao Feng and the others had already shocked him by reaching Dou Emperors at such a young age, but now they each possessed a Heavenly Flame as well.
